I feel like plenty of people have normal-seeming families that, as they’re growing up, feel awful. I’d rather have one that looks weird from the outside but felt really normal. Megan Amram Read Quote
My mom and brother are both doctors, and it seems crazy that so many people think science is a mutable idea. Megan Amram Read Quote
I feel like it’s such an exercise in, like, several things to read a ton of ‘Cosmo’s or ‘Glamour’s or whatever, all at once. Because you start realizing how they’re just talking about nothing for many pages, and they sort of lull you into this hypnotic state. Megan Amram Read Quote
I have, for a few years, been writing comedy prose – short pieces for my blog – because I found it to be a good way to write while I was on a TV show. It was different enough from my scripts that it felt like a break, but it still was comedy and very fun. I like to do comedy! Megan Amram Read Quote
My dream of dreams is to write Broadway musicals. All of this Twitter and TV writing is just a day job. Megan Amram Read Quote
I wrote ‘Science For Her!’ because I found normal, manly science textbooks to be too intense for my small size-0 brain, and I found normal science textbooks to have covers too heavy for my dainty size-0/size-2-with-bloat hands. Megan Amram Read Quote
Tweeting is a great way to practice writing jokes, but there is so much more to comedy writing than just jokes. Jokes are a necessity, but you also have to learn how to write characters, to break a story, to keep coherence between episodes. I’ve learned more by being a TV writer than I ever could’ve on my own.

I feel confused about what I’m supposed to be doing as a feminist because I do like fashion, and I do like magazines, too. I buy them on airplanes. I like seeing what hot trends are new this fall. It makes me feel very conflicted a lot of the time. Megan Amram Read Quote
I just want to keep doing a bunch of stuff that I don’t really plan. I’m so fortunate and lucky that people keep giving me these platforms. Because I’m kind of a crazy person. Megan Amram Read Quote
To develop your own voice, you have to keep writing a ton, and this is something where I think Twitter is helpful. I use it to write a ton of jokes. You have to write a ton of bad stuff before you know what you’re good at. And that’s what some people I think have trouble with, the thought of getting past the bad stuff. Megan Amram Read Quote
